I’ve long used LaunchBar<\/a> to quickly open Mac OS X header files. The built-in “Development Resources” indexing rule can be configured to scan headers. However, this has two problems:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. The headers are commingled with the HTML reference files. I do want access to the reference files, but sometimes I know I want to open the header.<\/li>\r\n
  2. It opens headers from the 10.4u SDK even though I’m running Leopard.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n

    Here’s a LaunchBar AppleScript that will only<\/em> open headers, and it will open all<\/em> the matching headers:<\/p>\r\n

    on handle_string(_string)\r\n    do shell script \"echo '1' | open -h \" & _string's quoted form\r\nend handle_string\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
    The “1” is because if there are multiple matches, open<\/tt> will ask you what it should do:<\/p>\r\n
    open -h NSAttr\r\nNSAttr?\r\n[0] cancel\r\n[1] all\r\n[2] \/System\/Library\/Frameworks\/AppKit.framework\/Headers\/NSAttributedString.h\r\n[3] \/System\/Library\/Frameworks\/CoreData.framework\/Headers\/NSAttributeDescription.h\r\n[4] \/System\/Library\/Frameworks\/Foundation.framework\/Headers\/NSAttributedString.h\r\n<\/pre>\r\n
